it's about the process.

as much as we humans might resist change, i think deep down we also love witnessing transformation (i mean why else is there an obsession with extreme makeover shows, the biggest loser, etc?). that's why, this post is all about before and afters! (you're squealing inside, right? haha.. kidding...well not really). below are all of the before/after pics of my recent post about emily g. they were post-processed using a mix of colorshift and totally rad actions.

again, i'd love to hear your thoughts, reactions, reflections, questions, suggestions, constructive critique.
i'm open.








i want to note that with this last image...i either had less than ideal settings on my camera and/or it just was too dark. but i liked it a lot. so, something i did to salvage the image was to go b&w because i find that it's more forgiving. then just played around a bunch with it and got the final image.

photoshop lesson becomes life lesson: the things that seem like they are unredeemable can turn out to be the most redemptive things. just requires some hope, imagination, dedication, and fun! :)
